The Isles of Collier Preserve is located just four miles east of downtown Naples on U.S. 41/Tamiami Trail East. This uniquely located community is bordered on the south by Rookery Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve, the north by Naples Botanical Garden, and the west by Dollar Bay. More than half of The Isles of Collier Preserve’s 2,400 acres is dedicated to preserves and natural habitat connected by a network of recreational trails, bike paths and waterways for kayaking.

Minto developed The Isles of Collier Preserve using its own funding sources, electing not to utilize Community Development District (CDD) funds, and saving homeowners at The Isles of Collier Preserve thousands of dollars in annual assessments.
